What an event video costs

Four things drive the price: how long the event runs, how many cameras are needed, what else is produced alongside the main film, and how fast you need the result. All prices excluding VAT, travel within the Rhine-Main region included.

Occasion Scope Price excl. VAT
Small company event full shooting day, one camera, one main film from 1,490 €
Company party with aftermovie full shooting day, one camera, social cuts, edit within 72 hours from 2,990 €
Conference full day, two cameras, main film and social cuts from 3,490 €
Congress full day, three cameras, main film and interviews from 6,090 €
Multi-day trade show several days, three cameras, interviews and live stream from 12,490 €

Add-ons

Photographer, half day
+ €690

Up to four hours alongside the shoot. You receive edited images, not raw files.

Photographer, full day
+ €1,190

Photography across the whole shooting day, coordinated with the camera team.

Editor on the shoot day
+ €890

Prepares the questions and runs the conversations. Recommended whenever interviews are involved.

Prices excl. VAT, on top of the package you choose.

The biggest cost driver is not the equipment, it is the number of cameras. Every additional camera means another person on site and another track in the edit. A 72-hour aftermovie is priced for the night shift, not for extra footage.

    All amounts net, travel within the Rhine-Main region included. The calculator gives a guide price, not a binding quote. For a fixed quote tell us the date and the venue, we usually reply the same day. By phone: +49 611 90067225.

    What to look for when you compare quotes

    Two quotes showing the same number can mean very different things. These ten questions make the difference visible before you decide.

    Is travel included?

    With us, travel within the Rhine-Main region is part of the fixed price. Charged separately, it can add a three figure amount to a single shooting day.

    Are camera, lighting and sound part of the price?

    We shoot with our own equipment and it is inside the package price. Suppliers without their own kit hire it in and pass the rental on.

    How many operators are behind the cameras?

    Ask about people, not devices. A second camera nobody operates gives you one locked-off shot, not a second perspective.

    Who obtains the filming permits?

    We obtain permits for exhibition grounds, congress centres and public spaces ourselves, and the fees are included in the package price.

    How long is the raw material kept?

    With us, five years. A supplier who delivers the finished film and deletes the rest makes any later re-use impossible.

    How many rounds of revisions are included?

    Get the number in writing. Otherwise every further round becomes a line item that only appears on the final invoice.

    Are music and usage rights cleared?

    And for which channels and which period. A licence that covers your own website does not cover paid advertising.

    Which versions and formats are included?

    Main film, vertical and square, subtitles, shorter cuts: what is in the price and what each further version costs belongs in the quote.

    What happens if the date moves or the event is cancelled?

    With us, cancellation is free of charge up to ten days before the date, after that 50 per cent applies, and from 48 hours before the shoot the full amount. Moving the date within six months costs nothing extra.

    Who carries the cost of putting things right?

    Agree in advance who pays if sound, lighting or the edit does not match what was agreed.

    Show us the quote you already have and we will tell you plainly which of these points are missing from it, even if you end up choosing the other supplier. Phone +49 611 90067225, e-mail info@eigenart-filmproduktion.de.

    Why event shoots work differently

    However carefully an event is planned, it develops a life of its own. The speaker overruns, the panel gets better than the programme, the award ceremony starts twenty minutes late. There is no second take.

    That is why experience matters more than anything on site. Darkened halls and hard light contrasts need fast lenses and low-light cameras. Outdoor coverage needs a plan for rain. Following VIPs through a venue needs a gimbal, not a tripod.

    We have worked this way since 2011 and bring the equipment from our own rental stock near Frankfurt. Thirty minutes to Messe Frankfurt.

    What you receive

    The main film is rarely everything. All of these come out of the same shooting day.

    How an event shoot runs

    Four steps, from the first call to delivery.

    01

    Briefing

    Date, venue, running order. We agree which moments have to be on camera and where the cameras are allowed to stand.

    02

    Technical recce

    For larger events we visit the venue in advance. Lighting, audio at the desk, power, routes for the gimbal.

    03

    Shooting day

    Set-up before the first guests arrive. The team stays until the end, even when the programme overruns.

    04

    Edit and delivery

    Review, rough cut, one round of revisions. Delivery via download link in every format agreed.

    Frequently asked questions

    How quickly is the film ready?

    Seven working days after the shoot is the standard. An aftermovie can be delivered within 72 hours if agreed in advance, because the edit then happens the night after the event.

    How many crew members come?

    One camera means one operator, two cameras mean two. From three cameras we add a vision mixer so the angles cut together properly.

    Do you shoot outside the Rhine-Main region?

    Yes. We have bases in Wiesbaden, Berlin and Dortmund and shoot across Germany. Travel within Rhine-Main is included; beyond that we quote travel and accommodation transparently.

    How do you handle audio at talks?

    We take a feed directly from the sound desk and back it up with our own microphones. Room sound alone is not good enough for talks.

    Can you stream at the same time?

    Yes. A live stream and an event film can run on the same day with the same crew. See conference live streaming.

    Do we get the raw footage?

    On request, for a surcharge covering archiving and handover. As standard we deliver the edited versions plus a selection of stills pulled from the footage.

    How much lead time do you need?

    Ten days is the normal case. That leaves time for the running order, the filming permit and a technical check beforehand. Shorter notice works if the day is free.

    What applies if we have to cancel?

    Free of charge up to ten days before the shooting day. After that we charge half, and from 48 hours before the start the full amount. A replacement date within six months costs no extra, provided it is free with us.

    How long do you keep the raw footage?

    Five years. If you later need a different version or a single scene for a new film, the material is still with us.

    Do you handle the filming permit?

    Yes. We obtain permits for exhibition grounds, congress centres and public spaces, and the fees are part of the package price. All we need is your contact person at the organiser.

    What is included in the fixed price?

    Camera, lighting and sound equipment, post-production and travel within the Rhine-Main region. You receive a flat price and not an estimate with open items.

    Do we get formats for social media?

    Yes, in vertical and square format. They are taken into account during the shoot and not cropped out of the long version afterwards, which would leave heads at the edge of the frame.

    Do you work with your own equipment?

    Yes. Cameras, lenses, lighting, wireless audio and drones belong to us. That keeps us independent of rental dates when something changes at short notice on the shooting day.

    What happens if the event runs longer than planned?

    We bill overtime at the agreed hourly rate. We do not leave in the middle of an awards ceremony.

    Do you also cover photography?

    Yes. A photographer can join the shoot for half a day or the full day. You receive edited images, usually within a week, plus a small selection the same evening if something has to go out the next morning. Booking film and stills separately means two crews travelling in and two different visual styles. From one team, both match.

    Can you provide an editor for the interviews?

    Yes, and with interviews we recommend it. The editor prepares the questions, runs the conversations and guides your speakers through the appointment. That is what decides later whether a soundbite survives the edit. Without an editor someone from your own team usually asks the questions. That works, but it costs more footage and more time in the edit.

    Still possible this year

    For Christmas parties, year-end events and client events in December, ten days of lead time is enough for the planning. Dates between 1 and 19 December are assigned in the order enquiries arrive. Tell us your date and we will hold a team.
